Tasting notes
Bright medium yellow. Very spicy (a few barriques were used here) pineapple and smoke aromas. Plush, spicy and slightly sweet, showing an almost glyceral texture but lacking the typical delicate floral quality of this grand cru. A touch of citrus zest firms the finish but will this wine ever make an elegant drink?

This is noticeably more reserved with its pure nose of green fruit, mineral reduction and sea shore scents. The palate impression of the slightly more voluminous flavors manages to combine richness with refinement that continues onto the mouth coating, sappy and well-balanced finish. This notably pretty effort should benefit from a few years of cellar time to develop more depth. Oct 2016, www.burghound.com, Drink: 2021+
(all in stainless steel): Exotic aromas of pineapple, banana and orange blossom. Quite plush and rich, with pineapple and menthol flavors--and 13.6% alcohol--showing the exotic side of the vintage. Large-scaled for Preuses and not especially floral, finishing with a slightly edgy quality. But not hailed on.
